conservation?
Answers
Answer:
1) The forest resources are valuable as an integral part of the ecosystem, from the commercial point of view, and as providers of shelter to wildlife. Today forests provide the raw materials for over 5,000 products worth about 23 million dollars.
2) They support industry which employs 1.3 million people. In fact, forests are still the natural habitats of several species of plants and animals, as well as of several tribal groups of the world. But, the most unfortunate setback came in the form of commercial exploitation, which resulted in mass destruction of forest cover year after year
3) The history of the exploitation of forests is as old as man himself, but during earlier times it was balanced through a natural growth process because at that time forest cutting was done for personal or community use only. But with the expansion of agriculture, forest lands have been cleared.
4) More destruction has been done after industrial revolution and urbanisation. During the colonial period commercial exploitation began and this was the main cause of the depletion of forests.
